Looks like quite a tight hip angle. Could you stretch the front out a little and rotate foward on the saddle to open it up? Doesn't look like you could raise the saddle. Another option would be a shorter crank.

Yeah, it does doesn't it? The saddle is about 30mm setback from the BB, the fit says only 3mm which might explain it.

Problem is I can't figure out why the saddle doesn't reach that far forward anymore ???

Saddle forward and up would help...if you can get it there. It definitely looks better in the fit picture.

First time i've commented on one of these, but i'll say what I see. In the first picture your knee looks very squashed to the chest, I was expecting the second to show the knee bent a bit but it's quite straight. I would ask what size is the frame (S,M,L) and the crank length, as said, they look like they maybe should be shorter.

in comparing it to the 'ideal' photo, the guy on the fit bike has more level forearms and has a more open shoulder angle, your elbows are more directly below the shoulder. What stem length do you have?

Regarding the saddle, is that an Adamo, they always sit a bit back as they don't have a nose I think

Having just got back from a fit with DoE, I was super impressed. On the last bit, from my experience this evening, drop Ben an email and ask him?!

For the others, I believe both images are Tin Pot. The second is him on the guru rig and the initial ones are his bike trying to replicate it

Tritalk advice is really going downhill these days - its becoming painfully obvious there are too many new people commenting without taking into account the bleeding obvious.

1. The hedge needs trimming

2. The fence needs painting

3. The patio needs a powerwash.

Some people need to get with the correct protocol on bike fit comments .....
